I have several books on my Amazon wishlist that are either about Japan or translations of Japanese literature that I would order if I had a little more disposable income. Has anyone here read any of them? If so, which ones are "must-reads?" Are there any others that I should add to my wishlist?

n Ghostly Japan (Tuttle Classics of Japanese Literature) (Paperback)
